I just had the same problem with my 98 Mystique. It happened right after the dealer performed the coil spring sheild recall. They had to be adjusted to alleviate the rubbing that was occuring. The noise almost felt like the front end was falling off when I hit a sharp bump.You will be able to see the black sheilds mounted to the top of the springs if this was performed. It took them about 1/2 hour to fix.
